The gender war began ever since the beginning of time. When we were little girls, we wanted to bash up little boys and irritating brothers who could step out of the house after dark, and as grown up women, we want to bash up ignorant boyfriends and chauvinists who think they’re doing the world good by putting us down. With rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh sending our tempers soaring through the roofs, here’s a list of other men we’d like to bash up if we could lay our hands on them.

Yo Yo Honey Singh: Here’s the nation saluting spirits of a brave girl who in spite of being gang-raped wished to live fighting, protesting for stronger laws to be written and punishment for those guilty of violence against women. And here’s Honey Singh rapping a song about being a Balatkari (rapist), a song laced with unmentionable and explicit lyrics. Do we need more reasons to throw sandals and belans at him, ladies?

Sanjay Nirupam: Congressman Sanjay Nirupam during a debate on Narendra Modi's hat-trick of victories in Gujarat with TV actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani, called her a thumkewali! Here’s what he said - "Char din hue hain aur aap rajnitik vishleshak bani firti hain. Aap toh TV pe thumke lagati thi, aaj chunavi vishleshak ban gayi. Aap sanskar bahut acche hai. Kya character hai aapka." The politician himself was seen cozying up with female housemates while part of the reality TV show, Bigg Boss! Now what should we call him for that or rather how hard do we hit him to teach him a lesson or two?

Abhijit Mukherjee: Congress politician (do we really elect people like these?) and the Indian President’s son, Abhijit Mukherjee, called women protestors in Delhi ‘dented and painted’. He went on to say that the protesters have no connection with ground reality. We surely want to show this ignorant politician how women who wear make up know a thing or two about karate or boxing too!

Rajpal Saini: This Bahujan Samaj Party MP shocked one and all when he said "There is no need to give phones to women and children. It distracts them and is useless. Why do women need phones? My mother, wife and sister never had mobile phones. They survived without one." Oh we’d like to take away his cell phone and see how he calls for help when we beat him black and blue.

Chris Brown: We have been wanting to lay our hands on this rapper ever since he physically abused his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. And on top of that he was heard saying, “My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.” Really now, Chris!

Raj Thackery: Raj Thackeray was heard taking potshots at MP Jaya Bachchan by saying, 'Guddi' (which means doll and was also the name of Bachchan’s first film) has gotten older, but not wiser. Well Raj, that’s no way to talk about a woman and certainly not someone elder to you! He sure deserves a few punches for that remark.

Narendra Modi: Gujarat Chief Minister called Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar a ‘50 crore girlfriend’ implying the IPL controversy. We’re really angered that he went to the level of objectifying someone like that.

Joe Walsh: Here’s what Joe Walsh, a politician from Illionos, said when he was contesting re-election against opponent Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran, “The only debate Ms. Duckworth is actually interested in having is which outfit she'll be wearing.” That’s right, that’s exactly what a war veteran and a worthy candidate like her would be worried about!

Raja Chaudhary: Bhojpuri actor Raja Chaudhary was charged with assaulting his then wife, Shweta Tiwari. Later, he was caught in his flat beating up his girl friend, Shraddha Sharma. He was arrested on charges of domestic violence. We sure would like to give him a dose of his own medicine.

Mohan Bhagwat: This RSS leader said that rapes happen in modern India because of modern values and not in the rural parts. Grrr…does he really not know that women police records and women's rights groups have enough statistics to suggest that rapes in rural areas largely go unreported?

Jitender Chhataar: In a bizarre statement, a Khap Panchayat leader said that youngsters should stop eating fast food like chowmein as that causes hormonal imbalance and leads to incidents like rape.

Are there any more annoying men out there you would like to bash up? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Asaram Bapu: A popular spiritual leader of the nation, Asaram Bapu in a statement said, Nirbhaya was to be blamed for the rape. He went on to say that “She should have taken God's name and could have held the hand of one of the men and said I consider you as my brother and should have said to the other two, brother I am helpless, you are my brother, my religious brother. She should have taken God's name and held their hands and feet...then the misconduct wouldn't have happened.” That makes absolutely no sense.

Sanjay Nirupam: Congressman Sanjay Nirupam during a debate on Narendra Modi's hat-trick of victories in Gujarat with TV actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani, called her a thumkewali! Here’s what he said - "Char din hue hain aur aap rajnitik vishleshak bani firti hain. Aap toh TV pe thumke lagati thi, aaj chunavi vishleshak ban gayi. Aap sanskar bahut acche hai. Kya character hai aapka." The politician himself was seen cozying up with female housemates while part of the reality TV show, Bigg Boss!
